Bruxism Therapy in
Ravenswood, Chicago

Signs You May Have Bruxism

Bruxism can be subtle at first, but over time, symptoms may include:

• Worn or flattened teeth
  
• Jaw pain or tightness
  
• Headaches or ear pain
  
• Tooth sensitivity
  
• Cracked enamel or restorations
  
• Soreness upon waking
  

If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule an exam. Early diagnosis can prevent permanent tooth damage and relieve discomfort.

Our Approach to Bruxism Therapy

Dr. Renieris uses gentle, non-invasive methods to treat bruxism and its related symptoms. Depending on your needs, your personalized therapy plan may include:

• Custom Night Guards: Designed to fit comfortably and prevent teeth grinding while you sleep.
  
• Jaw Exercises & Relaxation Techniques: Targeted movements can help reduce muscle tension and improve jaw balance.
  
• Stress Management & Lifestyle Support: Guidance for reducing daily tension and triggers that contribute to grinding.
  
• Bite Adjustments: In some cases, minor bite corrections help relieve strain and prevent recurrence.
  

Our approach focuses on long-term comfort and protection — no unnecessary procedures, just practical, personalized care.

Custom Night Guards for Bruxism

One of the most effective treatments for bruxism is a custom-fitted night guard. These thin, durable mouthpieces create a barrier between your teeth, preventing wear and reducing strain on your jaw joints and muscles.

Compared to store-bought guards, custom night guards offer:

• Better fit and comfort
  
• Long-lasting durability
  
• Superior protection for enamel and restorations
  
• Easier breathing and speaking
  

They’re made using precise digital impressions, ensuring a perfect fit without bulky material or discomfort.

If you also experience jaw pain or tightness, we may combine your treatment with TMJ therapy for comprehensive relief.
